Capital FM reported the man passed away on Sunday, November 30, after falling from the 14th-floor apartment along Kindaruma Road, in Kilimani.
Who is the victim who fell in Kilimani apartment?
Kilimani Police Commander Patricia Yegon said the victim has been identified as Lee Owino, and the suspect, a 48-year-old woman, has been arrested.
According to preliminary investigations, Owino and his girlfriend checked into the apartment on Friday, November 28, for a weekend stay.
On Saturday, November 29, they were joined by a male friend, and the three reportedly drank through the night until early Sunday morning.
The woman told police the friend left the house shortly afterwards when an argument broke out between the two.
Owino allegedly assaulted the woman before she allegedly demanded that the victim leave the room.
It is during this scuffle that she is believed to have pushed him over the balcony railing before she returned to sleep without attempting to find out what might have happened to the boyfriend.
The victim was found by security guards sprawled on the rooftop of a parked salon car moments after plunging from the balcony.
What did the video capture after the man fell?
According to guards and neighbours, they heard a loud thud before they rushed to the parking lot, only to discover Owino’s body with injuries and broken legs.
A viral amateur video footage emerged showing the victim with no clothes on top of the vehicle moments after the fatal fall.
In the video seen by TUKO.co.ke security guards could be heard calling other people to rush to the scene and save the victim.
The woman was asleep and unaware of the fatal fall until police and neighbours woke her. Authorities found drugs and empty alcohol bottles in the apartment.
Detectives are seeking a male friend who left before the incident to determine the circumstances of the fall.
